Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

I got a wiglet because I thought it would make me look like Brigit Bardot (think high updo, cat-eye, the whole nine yards). Anyways, I spent a huge amount of time styling it on the wig stand, then pinned it on top of my head. It looked like a dead rat! No matter how I arranged it, it looked awful. Ended up throwing it out, huge waste of money.

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

I wasn't into makeup in high school but I'm ashamed that I never washed my face throughout high school AND college. I probably could have saved myself from a lot of low self confidence about my acne if I had. I'm 23 now and just started taking care of my skin about 8 months ago.

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

I don't know why I though this was a cool idea! When I was in the 8th grade I used to wear a different eyeshadow on each eye. I did this a couple times... One eye would be all black eyeshadow and liner, the other one would be red or white or lime green...

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

Where to begin?! I started wearing makeup around 12/13 and it was a complete trainwreck - orange face, bad eyeliner, BLUE EYESHADOW (whyyyyy), raccoon eyes (also whyyyyyy), nude lips to the extreme as in concealer on the lips (WHYYYYYY)...

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

I once had the brilliant idea to put Nair on my eyebrows because it seemed faster and less painful than plucking (I was 12 or 13). I basically ended up with half-eyebrows that started near my irises. It was awful, and to this day I am so grateful that they grew back all the way.

I also used Sun-In -- my hair is way too dark for sun-in, and it turned it a brassy shade of orange that I had to cover on and off with permanent dye for about 3 years.

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

When I first started wearing makeup I was around 12 and I had no clue what I was doing. I have a really pale complexion and brown hair which just makes me look even whiter, when I began wearing makeup I used a lot of dark eyeliner all over and I looked like a tired vampire haha NEVER AGAIN!

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

My nails grow naturally long so I'd carve them into points, paint them silver, and tip them red. To be fair, they looked AWESOME. Although after I accidentally caught a guy's face with my pinky (nearly a decade later he still has the scar) I stopped doing that... Beauty is indeed a dangerous weapon XD Oh, and when I was really small I put on one of those cheapy pink lipsticks on my face in tribal patterns, my mom was not happy >.>

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

Mine was probaly wearing the most GOD AWFUL RED lipstick that I could find and continued to wear it until my late 20's when one day I saw a picture and thought Lord,lord lord what was I thinking. Thank God those days are long gone.

Re: What is your WORST beauty mistake?

Not questioning beauty counter advisors when I was younger! My first step into makeup was with Benefit, I bought most of what she put on me, but I had no idea why I supposedly needed a flat foundation brush when I didn't wear foundation, or what Dr. Feelgood was. And for awhile, I did my makeup as they and friends showed me when it was all wrong for my asian monolids :/. Thank god for blogs and online reviews now!
